Lempertz's Prussian auction in Cologne started with numerous porcelain items from the collection of Renate and Tono Dreßen for the Prussian court: Among them was a decorative dinner plate with a leaf-eating rabbit as a decoration from the Japanese Meissen service from 1762/63. It was created with 184 parts according to personal specifications and drawings by Frederick II and was intended for the Chinese House in Sanssouci Park, which was completed in 1764. The 24 centimeter plate has now changed hands for 10,000 euros; the estimate was between 6,000 and 8,000 euros. A previously unknown Russian military plate from KPM, made around 1806 and also from the Dreßen Collection, shows four soldiers on the battlefield; it exceeded his upper expectation with 8500 euros (estimate 6000/8000). A rare blue coffee service with 31 parts from 1764,which Frederick II had ordered from KPM to equip his castles, sold for 10,500 euros (8,000 / 10,000).

One of the highlights of the event, the 85 centimeter high cast zinc sculpture of "Seated Odysseus Coming Home" by Christian Friedrich Tieck, the marble version of which was originally in the tea room of Crown Princess Elisabeth of Prussia in the Berlin Palace, came to 20,000 euros (18,000 / 25,000) and goes in a private Berlin collection. Among other things, the top lot of the auction remained unsold - a huge, magnificent Berlin ceiling crown, which was once in the possession of the Princes of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, with an estimate of 60,000 to 80,000 euros - and a pair of cobalt blue unique vases with snake handles (18,000 /20,000). The "Study for the Portrait of Lieutenant General Hans Karl von Winterfeldt", one of the closest advisers to Frederick the Great, by Adolph von Menzel was worth 14,000 euros (12,000 / 16.000) honored; the sheet goes into a German collection. The beautiful and market-fresh portrait that Johann Heinrich Schröder painted of Queen Luise of Prussia in profile around 1800 came to 16,000 euros (15,000 / 20,000).

Karl Friedrich Schinkel is of course omnipresent in a Prussian auction: Schinkel made the design for a gilded, 44 centimeter high bronze table lamp to be placed in front of a mirror; the imposing piece with ten light sources clearly surpassed his expectation of 6000 to 8000 euros; it was worth 15,000 euros to a London collector. Views of Schinkel buildings in Berlin not only adorn a pair of porcelain pictures in gilded wooden frames - they were created around 1838/42 and fetched 20,000 euros (up to 30,000) their lower estimate - but also a five centimeter Easter egg made of porcelain from KPM, that brought it to 2000 euros (600/800).

65 lots from the Lith collection were called up with finely chased cast iron jewelry, the popularity of which reached its peak during the Napoleonic Wars: In 1813, Princess Marianne von Prussia appealed to all patriotic women in the country to exchange their gold jewelry for iron jewelry - according to the motto “Gold I gave for iron ”- to make a personal contribution to the support of the wars of liberation. A six-part “Grand Parure” in a case by Johann Conrad Geiss, consisting of a necklace, earrings, brooch and bracelets, aroused great interest and was only sold to a bidder from Singapore for 14,000 euros (6000/8000). A partly gold-plated silver letter opener also experienced a significant increase:The 26 centimeter long officer's saber was a present for Otto Fürst von Bismarck on his eightieth birthday. Estimated at 800 to a thousand euros, the hammer price was only 5300 euros. In total, the Prussian auction turned over 1.1 million euros; the expectation was 1.03 million.
